This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

This page is about an active politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy.

Princeton Theological Seminary

The Education component in the sidebar still has Princeton Univ identified (and linked) as a source of Rep Brat's M.Div. (I don't bother editing since everything gets reverted anyway.) ConradArchguy (talk) 01:46, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Random footnotes, please post new material ABOVE this section

Citing PoliFact

Everybody savvy realizes that PoliFact has a pro-Democrat viewpoint. It should not be cited, particularly when the main thrust of this article is anti-Brat. Even though Wikipedia tends to favor Democrats, there should be an attempt with articles like this to seeme neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 14:05, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
